    After Reading that and looking at available Tribulus Products, this one looks good:

    Tribulus 625
    by Optimum Nutrition
    625 mg Tribulus Terrestris per Capsule
    Tribulus 625 is made with finest Tribulus Terrestris available. Each capsule contains a 625 mg blend of Tribula Terrestris powder and extract - standardized to 40% Furastanol Saponin content. Tribulus 625 also contains various sterols, flavonoids and other plant compounds that occur naturally in this species.
    Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 2 capsules daily, preferably with morning and evening meals, or use as directed by a licensed nutritionist or physician.

    I wouldn't take this article as gospel the writer says this-Firstly, I worked with the best extract manufacturers in the world to develop a Tribulus Terrestris product that is standardized for a minimum of 40% furostanolic saponins. Do you think he could be a bit biased? Or making money here in some way?

    Not taking it as gosphel just wanted to get a discussion going. I does seem well established that the furostanolic saponins are the key ingredient. Who really has them in their product at the claimed levels? Anyones guess, but I am using vitamin shoppe brand tribulus at 20% saponins and that's before you break them out into furostanolic and spirostanolic saponins. Which they don't tell you!

    Anyway, hopefully we can find a good product that has what they claim and has the detail on furostanolic saponins.

    the NTS-5 is an estrogen blocker , in this trib .............. so having that i guess why ti makes sense being potent since it forces the body to produce more test and no conversion to estro !

    Biotest's tribulus is more towards the expensive side, but it is far and away the best I have used.
